2L TE Diesel Motor ? (1 Viewer)

[harveya]

Where can I find info and spec's on the 1H series of motors. I have searched for info but I want more.

I should tell you all about the truck, Its a 1985 FJ 60 series. I bought it 4 years ago for the body, its mint and deserves an engine swap. I use it as a work truck, and at times a daily driver -I haven't been off road in years since I sold my other 60. I want a reliable and more economical motor and know that a petrol motor is a waste of time.

I have spent the last 3 months trying to source a US Cummins or possibly a Hino or Isuzu. All good motors, but finding a low mileage 4 cylinder Cummins is next to impossible and the cost is outrageous, add to that what might be a headache with the swap.

Then comes along the 1/2 cut. Makes total sense to me. My problem is deciding on a motor / transmission combo before I have Jarco go search for one.

thanks

Thanks Tapage,

My original plan was to use the 4BT Cummins and mate it to a 5 speed toy transmission.

I am having a difficult time finding a source for the 4BT.

Tapage, the only real difficulty with a Cummins-swapped rig is that the engine is a low revving proposition. You must go with REALLY low gearing in your diffs and I would say the five-speed is mandatory--along with bigger tires. Don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest Cummins fan out there; however, you can't expect an older 12valve Cummins 6BT or 8valve Cummins 4BT to rev much above 2400 rpm--tops. That's a whole lot different that a Toyota diesel that revs over 4000.
